Abstract

The profound economic crisis affecting Greece since 2010 has pushed many Greek citizens and third-country nationals to emigrate. The reversal of Greece’s status to a sending country has evoked parallels with the mass-scale postwar migration to Northern Europe. Still, a closer inspection shows that the skills, migratory paths and numbers of recent migrants are quantitatively and qualitatively different from those of post-war migration. Meanwhile, elite discourse around new migration has mostly been anchored to the debates for/against austerity and no targeted policies have been developed to facilitate the trajectories or return of recent migrants.
